101 Chapter 101

"What is it? Why are you so surprised?"

Maxi frowned at the sight of Ruth standing behind her with his shoulders hunched in laughter.

"W-Why would you… sneak up on a l-lady like that?!"

Ruth took the seat opposite her. "Should I have bellowed that the great sorcerer Ruth has arrived?"

Maxi did not know whether to be angry or to laugh at his impertinence. They had not seen each other in a while, but his treatment of her had clearly not changed.
